Its good to see how the Xbox 360 outsells the PS3 inspite the latter being more expensive. I bet Sony would have to make the PS3 1/3rd the cost of the Xbox 360 to really beat it. The Xbox 360 is simply that awesome!!!

Now what was the point of this thread again?

The Ps3 just dropped to 300 dollars. So the sales from the price drop are not in. The point of this thread I can see is that you get even more value out of the PS3 vs. the others.

It's not that hard to figure out that if someone buys a 360 Arcade unit and if they wanted to try to make it on equal ground as the new Slim PS3 they would spend almost as much as the original 60 gig PS3's price and you still don't have a superior system. In fact all 360 models reach the hieghts of the original 60 gig price.

Of coarse consumers aren't forced to optimize their Arcade unit, but if they did they would spend almost double the price of the PS3 Slim.

Of course you do. The a PS3 bought now costs $299 and the Xbox 360 costs over $1000. 6 * $50 (live) + $150 (replacement) + $100 Wireless +$300 console. So its obvious that the Xbox 360 is totally superior in almost every way because it costs so much more than the PS3 and yet it sells more. Honestly, Sony is going to have to find a way to improve value instead of cutting the price all the time.
